Mark Swaney:
Opposes privatizing Social Security

Q: Do you support or oppose privatizing Social Security?

A: I do not support privatizing social security--to do so means the subtraction of profits from the Social Security system, which will inevitably mean higher Social Security taxes, and increased working years before full retirement.

Mike Huckabee:
No Congressional pensions; give them same deal as citizens

It is imperative that Congress learn that they have not been elected to be “princes of privilege”, but servants of the people. Congressional pensions should be eliminated altogether. Congressmen should be subject to the Social Security system and to the
same kind of Independent Retirement Accounts that other Americans have to experience. There are people in this nation who have worked 45 years and will earn a fraction of what the incumbent will receive after 18 years of Federal service as a Senator.
